Portuguese soccer club FC Porto reportedly submits offer for Norwich City.
Spicy Take: FC Porto has reportedly tabled an offer for Norwich's in-demand attacker, Borja Sainz, according to El Correo.
The 24-year-old winger, with a scorching tally of 19 goals in 43 games last season, has attracted attention from more than just the Dragons. Athletic Bilbao also seems to have their eye on him.
Porto, undeterred, appears to be asserting its dominance in the race for Sainz. The club's sporting director, Andoni Zubizarreta, is said to have made a serious offer for the player in England, but the specific financial details remain under wraps.
It's worth noting that Sainz has been plying his trade in England since the sweltering summer of 2023, following a stint in Turkey after bidding farewell to Spain in 2022.
Hot Gossip: Rumors are swirling about Sainz's future and a decision could be around the corner, though nothing has been confirmed yet. Norwich City is currently resisting Porto's advances, possibly weighing the pros and cons of selling him this summer to avoid losing him for free next year when his contract expires. But Sainz himself hasn't publicly committed to any club as of yet.
** Extra Dish:** The heat is on as Porto is holding off on further transfer negotiations until after their involvement in the FIFA Club World Cup. Meanwhile, a supercomputer predicts that Benfica edges out FC Porto in the World Club Cup, adding a tantalizing twist to the transfer frenzy.
After FC Porto's reported offer for Borja Sainz, other teams such as Athletic Bilbao are also showing interest in the 24-year-old winger. Amidst the transfer speculation, Benfica could potentially face Porto in the FIFA Club World Cup, according to a supercomputer prediction.
